Q.

A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, then how old is B ?

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years. (2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27 5x = 25 => x = 5 Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.
30 / 93
